Recipe: The Wild Mountain Honey Cocktail

The Wild Mountain Honey is a craft cocktail inspired by the wildflower superbloom and local wildflower honey.

This fun drink is inspired by the wildflower super bloom and local wildflower honey in beautiful Santa Barbara County area surrounding Cuyama Buckhorn, a roadside restaurant and inn located in the heart of California’s high desert where community, locally-inspired food and artistry flourish. Cuyama crafted the signature cocktail for their upcoming Spring Wild Flour Celebration, which takes place April 3-5, 2020 and features yoga, a special dinner, wildflower walks, and more.
